My adversary, Gu Yiliang, a second-rate fresh at, was blessed with a face that was on par with an idol, as well as superb acting talent. Regardless of whatever movie or drama he acted in or whatever roles he got, whether it was the main male lead, the second male lead, or a side character, he was always gilding the lily. Film critics will write a thousand-word review to flatter him sincerely while the company will give him earth-shattering praise through the press. The comnts on his Weibo would always be filled with flower emoticons and likes whenever you loaded his posts.
I, Wei Yanzi, a third-rate fresh at, was blessed with a face that was on par with an idol, as well as acting skill similar to an egg yolk. Regardless of whatever movie or drama I acted in or whatever roles I got, I was always a crested dogstail, always on the brink of withering and drying up. I didn't even deserve to be kept in a vase.
He was the one who could speak frankly with assurance regarding the psychological developnt of the character in the plot during interviews, and was able to receive acknowledgent without hiding the fact that he was working hard to strive for the golden award. Yet, when I accepted interviews, I was always asked about the scandals and gossips that revolved around . I don't even dare to self-proclaim I'm an actor before the cara.
To explain in a non-exaggerated manner, in the vast environnt of the entertainnt industry, he was the moon in the clouds, and the flowers beside the pond, while I was just a little yellow cabbage on the ground.

Never think that both Gu Yiliang and I were only separated by one celebrity tier. In the industry, it was the sa as being separated by a thousand ravines and gullies. So, regardless of how far I crane my neck, I'll never reach the top of his back.
3.
Then how was I fortunate enough to beco an adversary to Gu Yiliang?
It was actually very simple. We were of the sa age and worked under the sa company. We even debuted in the sa period, but since we weren't that familiar with each other, the company never intended to package us as brothers who were deeply infatuated with one another. Therefore, this led to the issue of allocating resources——
……
Fine, the more I delved into it, I couldn't think of any particular reason since his skills were obviously on a different calibre than mine. We didn't have the sa image, so our resources didn't really conflict with one another. I, too, have no idea. How did he beco my adversary?
4.
We have debuted and known each other for three years already, yet we didn't talk much, let alone add each other on Wechat. Whenever we t in person, we communicated fully with a 3-in-1 package—our eyes, smiles, and nods.
If it weren't for the fact that soone would appear every so often to stir up shit in the Weibo comnts section, I wouldn't have known that I, a tepid little third-rate, would actually have an adversary with a glorious pathway to stardom as well as a bright future.
I'm terrified!
How am I even worthy?!
5.
Regardless, I feel very honored.
Being caught up with such an adversary did help
enrich myself as well. My short-lived popularity was also gradually looking up.
I won't be getting the short end of the stick either way.
6.
So what does the term 'adversary' an?
It precisely ant this in the eyes of his fans:
When I smiled at Gu Yiliang, I'd have a hidden a dagger behind them.
When I brushed shoulders with Gu Yiliang, I turned a blind eye to his existence.
When I lowered my head in the sa fra as Gu Yiliang, I felt deeply upset in my heart.
When I turned to talk with others happily in the sa fra as Gu Yiliang, I was showing attitude.
I was wrong regardless of whether I was standing or sitting.
So, how do I put it? Unless I were Wei Yanzi himself, I would almost believe them to be true.
Which is to say in the eyes my of fans:
When Gu Yiliang smiled at , it was a silent provocation.
When Gu Yiliang brushed shoulders with , he felt I was beneath him deep down.
When Gu Yiliang lowered his head in the sa fra as , he was feigning loftiness.
When Gu Yiliang turned to chat with others happily in the sa fra as , he was being contrived and deliberate.
In any case, he's always in the fault whether he's active or quiet.
So, how do I put it? Unless I were Gu Yiliang himself, I would almost believe them to be true.

If we happened to wear the sa brand of accessories, that ant we were competing to be a brand ambassador.
If we happened to wear similar clothing, that ant we were copying each other's taste in fashion.
If we happened to be wearing the sa outfit, that ant we were screwed. In ti, the fans would nastily argue until they split a hole open about who wore it best and who was the most stylish and most sophisticated to the extent that a rainbow would spout out thousands of miles across the sky.

If you were to ask why I knew so much about it…

Pinching my nose, I returned the phone back to my new personal life assistant, Little Chen. "Don't show
the forum posts anymore. It's killing my mood."
10.
"There's still more an hour left until they start shooting the next scene. I was afraid you'd be bored sitting here on your own." Little Chen stuck out his tongue, his hand working on fanning
with a fan. "Don't actors search their own nas on the web?"
After going through a post about myself, I corrected him out of fear after the trauma I received. "Don'tdon'tdon't! Don't say you so politely! And don't call
an actor."
"Oh, then um, Brother Wei." Little Chen accepted it and changed his form of address without hesitation. Taking out a bottle of water, he inserted a straw into it before handing it to . "Don't you search for your na on the web occasionally?"
Chewing on the tip of the straw, I replied, "Why would I do that? They hyped up their dirt on
like crazy. It's so frustrating to look at them."
Head tilted to the side, Little Chen looked towards . "Then why don't you try and search for your adversary's na? Won't you feel better that way?"
I was rendered speechless by his suggestion.

This kid was a motherfucking genius!

Although I don't personally harbor any enmity towards Gu Yiliang, I still feel a slight distaste by the trashy posts his fans made about . So to be fair, there would be nothing wrong with
taking a peek at his blackmail material to calm
down.
I'll consider it as doing a kind deed for him!
Full of joy and expectations, I fished out my phone and opened Weibo to search by typing in his na, 'Gu Yiliang'.
13.
Like Ge You, I sat paralyzed on the chair, my hand raised against my chest as I attempted to calm my fluctuating mood from seeing the multitudinous praises and good reviews they showered Gu Yiliang with.

Ge You lying like a dead fish.
I'm very fragile, and I could no longer withstand any more traumatic events.

I had only just tapped on the red ellipsis symbol at the top of the comnts section and it notified
that a dozen more new ssages had been posted. I tapped on it to skim through it again with my dead fish eyes. Most of the comnts were pointless praises and declarations of love, but one of the weird-looking comnts instantly caught my attention.
15.
Was this an advertisent from the matrimonial agency?
Confused, my desire to know more made
tap into this NiangziArmy's Weibo account.
16.
Do you think a new world opened itself to ?
No, I probed and saw a whole new universe.
